Communications<br />
<strong>HLF</strong> Blog<br />
In addition to the journalists, the <strong>HLF</strong> Blog Team<br />
is fundamental to up-to-date reporting on the<br />
event as it unfolds live. There was a team of seven<br />
bloggers and one guest blogger this year that<br />
provided a wealth of diverse posts, maintaining<br />
a host of interesting reads throughout the week.<br />
To reach a broader readership, there are both<br />
English and German language posts, with a few<br />
being posted in both languages. In <strong>2016</strong>, the<br />
Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (<strong>HLF</strong>F)<br />
took on the duty of selecting and managing the<br />
bloggers. The <strong>HLF</strong>F is very grateful to the diversified<br />
blog team that tirelessly sought out stories<br />
and conducted interviews to produce a fascinating<br />
picture of the <strong>HLF</strong> experience.<br />
Naturally, the activity on the <strong>HLF</strong> Blog peaks<br />
leading up to, during and immediately following<br />
the <strong>HLF</strong>. However, our team is actively seeking<br />
out potential stories and working to expand the<br />
versatility of the blog. With the help of the network<br />
of bloggers created from past events, the<br />
<strong>HLF</strong>F aims to provide interesting material for our<br />
readers throughout the year.<br />
